Avatar’ed Themes
September 4, 2006
As an update to Matt’s prior avatar introduction announcement, I’ve now put avatars into all of the themes.
Remember, if you run into any problems with the new avatars or if there are any places where we happened to miss placing them, don’t hesitate to let us know. But for now, enjoy them!

Could the avatar feature work for non-wordpress bloggers? I mean, if someone lets say from I don’t know,…um 9rules.com responds to an entry of mine, could they have their own gravatar that would appear on my site? Or is this feature only working wordpress to wordpress users?

Thanks a lot. A great feature.

: Unfortunately, the current avatar system is strapped to your WordPress.com account. I could see some type of gravatar/wpavatar hybrid going on, but I wouldn’t know where to start with that. For now, in order to get an avatar to show, they must have an account here at WP.com.

Hey cool … You guys respond really fast … I like avuee’s Idea … When you guys released Avatars I had intitially suggested using Gavtars. But Like Matt pointed out it might be taking to much resources from a free service. A hybrid system where the wordpress avatars are shown by default or else gavtars would been show seems like a good idea.

Great! a lovely feature. Thanks a lot:D

I love how you guys are turning WP into more of a communal blogging service. I think you should add a blog-subscriber sort of thing. Something like the Tag Surfer, but rather than subscribing to tags, you subscribe to other WP.com blogs.

If I get that avatar’ed themes post right, avatars should be showing alongside comments. Well, in my blog at least, they don’t. Am I missing something here?

Like bizwriter, the effect of including avatars in themes has not
“dawned” on me yet but probably it will come to me evenutally. We
can still show our avatar, wherever it may pop up, if we have one
so it is nice that the application is expanding. Like my head? 🙂

[Matt/Bryan]: The avatar pics arent placed properly when viewed in Opera (in Linux). The pic overlaps the name and date of comment. Just thought of letting you know.

[Matt/Bryan] One more thing, is there a way I can delete my comments from other’s blog? (as in blogger)

May be worth checking its effectiveness in Quentin 0.9. It seems very small. Would it be possible to change the logo on Firefox tabs to the individual’s avatar?

Ok, so about the comment that I actually meant to make here:
I might be missing something, but:
Where?
I’ve gone though and clicked on the links of a bunch of commenters here and gotten a pretty decently sized sampling of different themes, and I’ve not seen any avatars that I see here…
I feel silly for asking this, but… well, maybe I should just wait until tomorrow. I have no idea what propagation is like here. Considering it’s only been an hour…
Yeah

I haven’t ventured into different themes to actually check this out. But, I trust you guys! This is good, now if we can all get more themes to play with, that’ll be great. Will keep blogging … afterall, a blog is something written by someone who has nothing to say for someone who has nothing to do :).

OK, so some folks like, even love avatars. I hate ’em 🙂 People who don’t have one have a big stupid looking question mark and I have to put up with a guy giving the finger on all of the comments on my blog. Not the image I was looking for. Any way to turn them off? Or maybe reinstate some themes that don’t have them?

On my Screen the Avatars are some sort of mixed up with the text written by someone… I mean: The Pictures are in the middle of the post and not where they supposed to be (left of the text I assume?)
